Iranian Strikes Devastate US Military Assets in Jordan

A recent wave of Iranian strikes on the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan has left significant damage to U.S. military assets, marking a major setback for the world's most heavily funded military.

The attacks caused material damage, including the destruction of over two dozen drones and impacts on aircraft already affected by accidents. According to reports from the Congressional Research Service, 42 U.S. military aircraft had already sustained damage or been lost due to the conflict.

The strikes also resulted in the loss of a wing for an A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft, with light damage incurred on approximately eight F-15s. These attacks followed U.S. actions against Iranian oil carriers and were in retaliation for previous Iranian attacks on a U.S. Navy warship.
